	Author	Review
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"This take delivers its message of understanding and personal evolution in a way that will strongly speak to those who are both appreciative of their immigrant parents’ sacrifices"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly AV Club	"A cheerful, vibrant and culturally precise reimagining of 'Father Of The Bride' (...) The end result of all this is a little My Big Fat Greek Wedding and a little Crazy Rich Asians in spirit"	POS
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[It] often misses one essential ingredient: real humor. Its heart is in the right place, but even its wackiest diversions fall short of previous versions"	NEU
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"As with its predecessors, the HBO Max film is the gentlest of satires (...) Gaz Alazraki ups the oomph with the Miami setting and a soundtrack of classic cuts by the likes of Celia Cruz and Benny Moré"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A mostly charming throwback to a time of big music, big speeches and big kitchens (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Pete Hammond Deadline	"Andy Garcia & Gloria Estefan help make cuban-american reboot entertaining if not quite memorable"	NEU
United States	Amy Nicholson Variety	"This remake is loud and exaggerated; it’s more hijinks than heart (...) The film doesn’t care enough about their characters to build any chemistry"	NEG
United States	Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"Garcia and Estefan in particular are so at ease in their roles that they invite us to be part of the celebration (...) this is a wedding worth attending."	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"The classic comedy gets a sweet, inclusive reboot (...) Mostly, it's just fun"	POS
Canada	Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"'Father of the Bride' showed promise, the talent is abundant on screen and behind the camera, but a flimsy screenplay fails them all (...) The story lacks creativity (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"García and Estefan and all of our feelings about weddings bring so much warmth and good humor to the movie (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"'Father of the Bride' is a modestly delightful surprise, pleasant and gratifying"	POS
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"There's way more plot to 'Father of the Bride' than necessary. But the unique cultural details add fresh flavor; and the big emotional buttons at the movie's end are effective"	NEU
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"If you want a light, fun, and enjoyable retro throwback comedy, you can't do much better than walking this movie down the aisle"	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Father of the Bride' is a real charmer carried by the wonderful Andy Garcia (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ross Bonaime Collider	"[It] has its heart in the right place, but by shifting too much away from the traditions of the past, 'Father of the Bride' doesn't have the same magic that its previous versions have been able to generate"	NEU
